mixed feelings about this stay

The room was clean enough. Nothing special, but it was acceptable.
I was pretty annoyed because the bedsheets seemed unwashed. there were some questionable stains. Looks like they skipped laundry day before i arrived. the tea and coffee being in open tubs also seemed pretty unhygienic.
